Fear & Kindness of the Lord
(Elizabeth Stephens)
This song is about "the balance" we must have, in God...to know HIS way. Prov 8:13,14 "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength."
Psalm 103:11 "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his merciful kindness toward them that fear him."
May the fear of the Lord be upon me,
May I hate evil as YOU do.
Focused only on your holiness and pow’r,
I will certainly be true.
May the kindness of the Lord be upon me.
May I love my neighbor as I should,
God’s heart for me is
to show His kindness,
And with Jesus
I know I could.
When I look to you,
I can see.
Though the darkness
is around me,
When I trust in your word and go forward in faith,
Then this revelation comes to me.
Let the fear of the Lord keep me from sin.
And the kindness of the Lord keep me close to Him,
For we must have BOTH
to go “the way”
If we don’t we’ll be
led “a-stray”.
Let the fear of the Lord keep me from sin,
May the kindness of the Lord keep me close to Him,
For we must have both to go “the way”
If we don't, we’ll be led “a —stray”.
Yes, we must have
both to go “the way”
If we don t,
we’ll be led “a-stray”.
